My tree is also up. I got the lights on it. But no ornaments. It definitely needs more lights. I'm light obsessed. I like lots and lots and lots of lights. Last year I put about 23,782,117 extra lights on my pre-lit tree and that caused a slight ... ummmm... problem. Because the tree pluggy in thing started melting, and then the tree had to go to the curb. And we all know it's never really Christmas until your tree catches on fire.

So I'm using Mom's old tree. It's a beaut, but I forgot it isn't one of those trees that is only three parts: bottom, middle, top. This beauty features a trunk with 56,000 branches. But I got it assembled. And lit. But not as lit as I would like it. So, getting more lights today.

And here we are ... Thanksgiving week. And it promises to be a wild one.
